The Four Pillars of the Imperial Order

As we did some brainstorming after the 16th year event this past Sunday, I took away the following four agenda items that will set the stage for us:

Gaming:
We have multiple platforms available to conduct both offline and online game events. This includes the Official SW game list posted on the Holonet, as well as other non-SW games with SW mods. The general consensus is to have one day/night a month for everyone to get online together and play in matches. We can start off casual then progress to some tournament style matches if that suits everyone’s schedules. I’ll post a thread on the Holonet to get everyone’s feedback for a suitable day/time each month.

Socializing:
This one is fairly easy – we have our Facebook group, we have the Holonet forums, Email and IRC. If anyone needs their Holonet account reset- please let me know, we’d like to get some Holonet communications and activity underway immediately. I’m re-opening @imperialorder.net emails to be available for everyone – if you want one, let me know and I’ll send you the info. We also have IRC, I’m still debating which servers to use – our old Dynastynet one which is not very popular, but also quiet – or IRCnet which would gain us more exposure. More to come on the IRC front.

Creative Writing:
There are three parts to the creative writing segment:
1 – The Official Story of the IO – which I am working on and in process of writing. This story spans from the day after the Battle of Endor up to approximately 19-20 years after the Battle of Yavin. (there will be a timeline soon).
2- The story of the day to day activities and the lives of our officers and our current timeframe (TBA) which will detail what happened when we all lost contact with one another to explain the long absence of activity, and get things going from a fresh perspective. More information will be forth coming from myself and Crystal on this project.
3 – Run-on and Shared Stories via the Holonet – This will be a free form fan fiction story types that anyone can join in on and put in their perspectives of the scenario put forward.

Game Editing:
Both Kamin and myself want to see the Game Editing projects really take off, in this there will be two types as we did previously:
1 – the Official Missions/Battles and Levels of the IO – these TIE/XvT/XWA and JK/JO levels will go along with the Official Storyline of the IO
2 – Any member submitted levels and/or missions based on the creative writings done, or anything that strikes the creator’s fancy – we welcome any and everything!
We will also be providing resources on how to create/edit missions and levels and where to go for how to’s and other information.

I’m looking forward to this renewal in the Imperial Order and I welcome everyone to join along with us.
